Impact Analysis with ECM-GO
ECM-Go supports a consistent and data-driven approach to impact analysis across engineering, logistics and cost.
What is Impact Analysis?
Impact analysis is an iterative process that evolves with a change. The goal is not perfect certainty, but sufficient understanding to make the right decision. It helps build a decision basis before approval by balancing:
- Scope (what changes)
- Cost (financial impact)
- Risk (what could go wrong)
The Three Dimensions
Scope
Defines what is affected by the change and ensures nothing critical is missed:
- Products, assemblies, BOMs
- Operations, tools, fixtures
- Documentation and systems
Cost
Identifies financial impact and builds the financial decision basis:
- Unit cost changes
- One-time costs (scrap, engineering, updates)
- Investments in equipment or capacity
Risk
Risk is highest before mitigation, but it is defined and reduced as actions are assigned. It identifies potential impact on:
- Safety
- Quality
- Delivery
The Challenge
Impact analysis is difficult to scale because it relies on information and collaboration across multiple systems and disciplines.
- Data is spread across disconnected systems
- Multiple functions and stakeholders are involved
- Analysis is often manual and time-consuming
As a result, it becomes difficult to build a complete and reliable picture of the change impact.
This often leads to inconsistent, incomplete, and delayed evaluations, making decision-making slower and less reliable.
